Introduction The VistA Mental Health Assistant (MHA) is the graphical user interface (GUI) for the VistA Mental Health Package (MHP). MHA was developed to create an effective and efficient tool for clinicians (not just mental health clinicians) and their patients to use for the administration and scoring of assessment instruments and interviews. Additionally, results are displayed in report and graphical formats. MHA and MHP support mental health assessments (e.g., psychological testing, structured interviews, questionnaires, etc.) that are not available elsewhere in the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS)/Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA). MHA has enjoyed widespread usage among mental health clinicians over the past several years, and the current revisions of MHA and MHP initiate steps toward re-engineering VistA Mental Health functionality. To better meet the needs of clinicians and patients in different programs, particularly non-traditional settings, MHA can now run in a standalone mode to administer instruments offline for later uploading to VistA.

Security Information This section addresses any unique legal requirements and responsibilities pertaining to the Mental Health Assistant Version 3, software application and necessary security measures to protect the integrity of the software and its data. Security Management There are no unique legal requirements pertaining to Mental Health Assistant software application with the exception that some of the psychological tests are copyrighted. Copyrighted tests are used by permission of the copyright holders. Use of these tests must be consistent with contracts between VHA and copyright holders. Security Features: SecureDesktop SecureDesktop is a set of security features intended to prevent unattended patients taking on-line tests from using the Personal Computer (PC) for other purposes. The SecureDesktop features construct a screen to cover the entire PC desktop. Non-alphanumeric keys are trapped to keep the patient from using the task bar and operating system functions (such as Task Manager). The Patient Entry button on the Instrument Administrator form is the only instrument data entry method that activates the SecureDesktop features. The Patient Entry button should only be used for the on-line patient administration of data entry of forms, instruments and surveys. The

Page 14: MENTAL HEALTH ASSISTANT VERSION 3 (MHA3) … · March 2012 MHA3 Patch YS*5.01*103 Installation Guide 1 Preface The Veterans Health Information Systems and Architecture (VistA) Mental

6 MHA3 Patch YS*5.01*103 Installation Guide March 2012

SecureDesktop security features cannot be defeated once the Patient Entry button becomes active. Excessive non-alphanumeric keystrokes are interpreted as “hacking” efforts and MHA is terminated. At the conclusion of the patient’s data entry session, MHA is terminated. Upon termination of the Windows session the user is logged off and the PC is shut down, which means that the user has to enter their network username and password to log back on to the desktop. Alerts: Alerts are not required for this release. Remote Systems: All Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores entered through the Mental Health Assistant GAF form are dynamically sent to the National Patient Care Database (NPCD) at the Austin Automation Center (AAC). All Mental Health Assessment data entered through the Mental Health Assistant Instrument Administrator form are dynamically sent from local VistA servers to the National Mental Health Database System (NMHDS) Oracle databases at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (Highland Dr.). Archiving/Purging: MHA3 software does not include archiving and/or purging capabilities. Contingency Planning: Each facility using the MHA software application must develop a local contingency plan to be used in the event of application problems in a live environment. The facility contingency plan must identify procedures used for maintaining the functionality provided by the software in the event of a system outage. Interfacing: The non-menu option, YS BROKER1 [YS BROKER1] contains the context necessary to interface MHA Version 3, software application to the VistA database. Electronic Signatures: MHA Version 3, Addiction Severity Index (ASI) software component utilizes the electronic signature functionality.

March 2012 MHA3 Patch YS*5.01*103 Installation Guide 7

Menus MHA3 software does not contain any menu options of particular interest to Information Security Officers (ISOs). Security Keys: MHA3, software application did not release any new security keys. However, the YSP security key is required to control access to the results of “non-exempt” tests. Holders of the YSP security key are controlled (i.e., given out by the Chief of Psychology or a senior psychologist at a facility that does not have a Chief of Psychology). The Chief of Psychology or senior psychologist also determines which tests are “exempt” (i.e., the results can be seen by anyone), and which are “non-exempt” (i.e., require the YSP key to see the results). File Security: There is no file security associated with the release of MHA Version 3 software application. References: Kernel V. 8.0 Systems Manual Official Policies: There is no official policy unique to the MHA Version 3 software application regarding the modification of the software and distribution of the product.

See the “Setting up VistA MHA3 on CPRS GUI Tools Menu” section of this document for instructions. 10. The Secure Desktop feature in the MHA software is a security feature that locks down computers when patients are completing assessments directly in MHA. Because it locks down all other applications on the computer when activated, it must be loaded directly on the PC where it will be used. It should only be loaded on machines that will be used for patient administered assessments. It should not be pushed out to all machines on the network. Client: GUI Software NOTE: This version of the client software must be installed as a new installation.

IRM Staff: NOTE: USERS installing SecureDesktop software on a Windows XP environment must have Administrator privileges on the PC Workstation platform. 1.

Installing SecureDesktop Functionality in MHA3 The optional Patient-Entry functions built into MHA3 are disabled by default and by design, and should only be enabled if there is a need to use MHA3 for patient-self-administered assessments. If SecureDesktop is installed, it must be installed after MHA3 is installed. NOTE: Only users with Administrator Privileges are able to install or uninstall SecureDesktop. SecureDesktop files are installed or uninstalled using a separate setup file than the one for installing MHA3. All the files necessary to use SecureDesktop are bundled in a single setup file. The SecureDesktop files MUST be installed to the same folder as the one containing the main MHA3 file (YS_MHA.exe)—this is why MHA3 must be installed first. NOTE: MHA3 requires a custom version of SecureDesktop, which is distributed along with MHA3. No other distributions of SecureDesktop will work with MHA3 as of this writing. PRIOR to installing the Secure Desktop, the Patient Entry button on MHA3’s Instrument Administrator form is disabled, and these functions are not available to the user. Example: To start the installation process, execute the file named YS50185_SD_SETUP_1_0_2_77.exe. This is available on the Office of Information Field Offices (OIFOs) ANONYMOUS SOFTWARE_ARCHIVE directory FTP sites. Download as a binary type of file. This action will display the following Setup – SecureDesktop for Mental Health Assistant 3 screen. Click on the Next button to continue the installation process.

SecureDesktop & Screen Pass : How to correct Windows-Registry problems. According to the Birch Grove Software site:

“Screen Pass is a screen locking system for Windows® that extends the capability of the standard workstation lock and gives network administrators complete control over idle workstations.

With Screen Pass, network administrators can enforce screensaver password use, screensaver timeout, and screen saver selection. Advanced features include automatic logout, automatic shutdown, customizable administrator override, and auditing of all logon/logoff and lock/unlock events.

Intended primarily for workstations connected to Novell Netware or Microsoft networks, Screen Pass can be distributed and managed remotely with or without group policy. The central management feature makes Screen Pass ideal for small, medium, and large networks - anywhere that security of idle workstations is a concern.”

Screen Pass installs its own version of a gina.dll and it may take precedence over the one used by Secure Desktop. If SecureDesktop does operate properly these changes may be necessary in the Windows Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDLL=dwlgina2.dll HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDLL_ScreenPass=msgina2.dll See Remedy Ticket # HD0000000278953. SecureDesktop : How to correct dwlGina2.dll problems. A dwlGina2.dll error problem may occur when a non-administrator uninstalls MHA3 without an administrator first de-activating SecureDesktop. Here is how to fix it: 1. Turn off defective PC, if on. 2. Start the PC and Windows in SAFE mode. 3. Logon as Administrator. 4. Find the media containing the YS_MHA_SD_UNINSTALLGINA.exe file. These files are typically found at C:\Program Files\Vista\YS\MHA3. Run YS_MHA_SD_UNINSTALLGINA.exe. Click Yes, to uninstall it. 5. Reboot in normal mode.

Setting up VistA MHA3 on CPRS GUI Tools Menu WARNING: THIS STEP IS MANDATORY, TO COMPLETE THE VistA MHA3 INSTALLATION PROCESS. This procedure configures VistA so that “Mental Health Assistant” appears as a choice on a user’s Tools menu on the CPRS desktop software. Unlike previous versions of MHA, where this was optional, Version 3 of VistA MHA MUST be started from the CPRS Tools Menu. Selecting this choice from the CPRS Tools menu will offer the user full MHA3 functionality, based on a user’s particular access permissions in VistA. The basic steps for setting up VistA MHA3 on the Tools menu are no different from doing it for other applications. The main difference lies in how the Name=Command entry is formatted. The following text capture is taken from the CPRS Setup documentation, to serve as an example of how to perform this step for MHA3: Example: Setting up VistA MHA3 on the CPRS Tools menu, GUI Parameters [ORW PARAM GUI] Select GUI Parameters Option: tm GUI<ENTER> Tool Menu Items CPRS GUI Tools Menu may be set for the following:<ENTER> 1 User USR [choose from NEW PERSON] 2 Location LOC [choose from HOSPITAL LOCATION] 3 Division DIV [REGION 5] 4 System SYS [OEX.ISC-SLC.VA.GOV] Enter selection: 1<ENTER> User NEW PERSON Select NEW PERSON NAME: MHPROVIDER,ONE<ENTER> CPF ------------- Setting CPRS GUI Tools Menu for User: MHPROVIDER,ONE---------- Sequence: ? <ENTER> Enter the sequence in which this menu item should appear. Select Sequence: 2 Are you adding 2 as a new Sequence? Yes//<ENTER> YES Sequence: 2// <Enter> Name=Command: Mental Health Assistant=C:\Progra~1\Vista\YS\MHA3\YS_MHA.exe s=%SRV p=%PORT c=%DFN u=%DUZ m=%MREF

From the previous example, adjust according to your own system’s settings, such as New Person Name and other parameters—consult the CPRS Setup Guide for the meaning of these parameters. The pertinent portion of the example is the “Name=Command:” field. This field should be entered exactly as shown, in a single line—no line-breaks allowed, including all the % parameters that follow the filename and path to the MHA3 executable file. The path shown represents a typical path used during a default installation. If your path is different, adjust accordingly. ALL five parameters must be included as shown above, in the precise order in which they are found in the example. Here is what the Name=Command line should look like:

Example: Mental Health Assistant=C:\Progra~1\Vista\YS\MHA3\YS_MHA.exe s=%SRV p=%PORT c=%DFN u=%DUZ m=%MREF Sequence number 2 is shown in the example, but, if you have other entries in the Tools Menu, then the next free sequence number will do just fine. (Sometimes when cutting and pasting, unseen control characters can be included in the text and will cause the command line to malfunction.) After this step is completed, a new choice will appear in the user’s CPRS Tools Menu labeled “Mental Health Assistant”. Clicking on this menu entry will start MHA3 with a selected patient synchronized to the one currently selected in CPRS. Refer to the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) Setup Guide for more information about this procedure.

Setting up VistA MHA3 on CPRS GUI Tools Menu for SecureDesktop If your site uses an APPLICATION SERVER for access MHA3, you will need to create a 2nd instance under CPRS tools. SecureDesktop MUST access MHA3 from the LOCAL MACHINE that SecureDesktop is loaded. You cannot use MHA3 from an application server for SecureDesktop Example: Setting up VistA MHA3 on the CPRS Tools menu for SecureDesktop, GUI Parameters [ORW PARAM GUI] Select GUI Parameters Option: tm GUI<ENTER> Tool Menu Items CPRS GUI Tools Menu may be set for the following:<ENTER> 1 User USR [choose from NEW PERSON] 2 Location LOC [choose from HOSPITAL LOCATION] 3 Division DIV [REGION 5] 4 System SYS [OEX.ISC-SLC.VA.GOV] Enter selection: 1<ENTER> User NEW PERSON Select NEW PERSON NAME: MHPROVIDER,ONE<ENTER> CPF ------------- Setting CPRS GUI Tools Menu for User: MHPROVIDER,ONE---------- Sequence: ? <ENTER> Enter the sequence in which this menu item should appear.

(Sometimes when cutting and pasting, unseen control characters can be included in the text and will cause the command line to malfunction.)

Setting up VistA so that individual MHA3 assessments are also listed on the CPRS GUI Tools Menu NOTE: THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL This procedure configures VistA so that you can add a variable number of individual, specific assessment-types choices, to the Tools menu in the CPRS GUI. This is in addition, or instead of, the Mental Health Assistant choice described above. This step is optional and will have no effect on the procedure described above. The steps for setting up individual assessment types are identical to setting up MHA3, with one significant difference: The Name=Command line has one added parameter at the end of the parameter list. This parameter indicates the “code” name of the instrument to be added to the Tools menu. In this example, CAGE is added to the Tools menu. Here is what the Name=Command line should look like to add CAGE: Example: Mental Health Assistant=C:\Progra~1\Vista\YS\MHA3\YS_MHA.exe s=%SRV p=%PORT c=%DFN u=%DUZ m=%MREF CAGE As above, this entire Name=Command line should be on one line—no carriage returns, and the next open sequence number on the menu will work fine. Example: Two new entries on the CPRS Tools menu; Mental Health Assistant and CAGE (individual assessment type).
